Since vitamin D is produced in your skin from cholesterol under sun exposure, is it possible your body allows more cholesterol in blood (and tissues like skin) as a response to vitamin D deficiency due to chronic lack of sun exposure?
Vitamin D deficiency high cholesterol
Inuit population need to intake much cholesterol in order to make vitamin D only in the skin of their face. Could this be the reason those from mongol race have big faces? Also fair skin allows the very little sunshine into your skin more easily.

Same Nationality? Grünberg vs. Brauner
"Alexandru Nicolschi (born Boris Grünberg, his chosen surname was often rendered as Nikolski or Nicolski; Russian: Александр Сергеевич Никольский, Alexandr Sergeyevich Nikolsky; June 2, 1915–April 16, 1992) was a Romanian communist activist, Soviet agent and officer, and Securitate chief under the Communist regime. Active until the early 1960s, he was one of the most recognizable leaders of violent political repression."
"Born to a Jewish family in Tiraspol (part of Imperial Russia at the time), he was the son of Alexandru Grünberg, a miller."
"Involved in the interrogation of Lucreţiu Pătrăşcanu, he ensured Soviet intervention in the proceedings,[26] and was personally responsible for the arrest of Lena Constante."
"Victor Brauner (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈviktor ˈbrawner], also spelled Viktor Brauner; June 15, 1903 – March 12, 1966) was a Romanian Jewish painter of surrealistic images."
"Harry Brauner (February 24, 1908, Piatra Neamţ – March 11, 1988, Bucharest) was a Romanian ethnomusicologist, and composer, professor of music, director of the Institut de Folklor in Bucharest (1949-1950). [1] He is the brother of Victor Brauner and the husband of Lena Constante. Harry Brauner is known as Constantin Brăiloiu's disciple and colleague. Brauner was implicated in the show trial against Lucreţiu Pătrăşcanu and spent 12 years in prison, most of it in solitary confinement; he was later rehabilitated [...] and worked as a researcher and journalist."

"So i remember every face. Of every man who put me here"
There is divine beauty in learning, just as there is human beauty in tolerance. To learn means to accept the postulate that life did not begin at my birth. Others have been here before me, and I walk in their footsteps. The books I have read were composed by generations of fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, teachers and disciples. I am the sum total of their experiences, their quests. And so are you. - Elie Wiesel
Our lives are a sum total of the choices we have made. -- Wayne Dyer
I am the sum total of everything that I have experienced musically. --
Hank Jones
I know they're not the exact quote you are looking for. I think this is a common saying especially the phrase 'sum total', so it's not attributed to someone in particular.

Sometimes things in our lives come just too fast to have time to understand so we can make real choices. It's easier to remember though and try to understand later.
One day i was in hospital in December 2002 and a therapist asked me if i ever wanted to take revenge on people who did me wrong in the past. I felt he was fearing for himself although he had this sarcastic smile on his face. I told him not to worry, my list is way too long and i forgotten with whom it started.
It's the hospital where i called one night in January 2003 911 from a pay phone telling the operator i was fearing for my life. They didn't respond to that call. I was at Woodland Park Hospital in Portland, Oregon.
That hospital was closed a year or so later for the same reason, the doctors called 911 and sent a patient with an ambulance to a different hospital.
Now it's reopened under a different name.
I know there are hard times in people's life when people say exceptions become the rule. But in my life coincidences have become the rule.

The Future Of History
Accurate history has been an important missing piece of the puzzle of many young people's mind. I've been dreaming for years of being able to see interactive maps of the history. There is a timid start on different sites, but i think more should be done. It is a very fun and satisfying way of learning history. Learning doesn't have to be a major pain in anybody's life.
For an interactive map of the history of Europe click below. Click the years to get the map of a period, hover above the plus sign for details.
